Winter Quarter Tuition
Winter Quarter tuition is due January 23rd. Payment must be received by Student Fiscal Services by the deadline to avoid late charges. Note! The Schmitz Hall payment drop slot will close at 5pm on January 23rd; you may still make webcheck payments online after 5pm. For your current balance, check your tuition statement on MyUW. For more information about payment options, see 'Paying Your Tuition and Related Fees'.
Tuition Forfeiture Fees
If you plan to make changes to your academic schedule, be aware of
potential changes to your tuition bill. Credits dropped after the
7th calendar day of the quarter may incur a tuition forfeiture fee. If possible, make your changes before the deadline to avoid extra charges.
Direct Deposit of Financial Aid
If you haven't already signed up for Direct Deposit, enroll online to have your funds automatically deposited into your bank account as soon as they become available.
Parent Loans
If you have been awarded a Parent Loan (PLUS), you will be sent an application document for your parent to complete and return to Student Fiscal Services. The parent borrower must also have a valid Master Promissory Note (MPN) on file and an approved credit check. For more details, see the PLUS FAQ page.
